The Usseglios produce a tasty, crispy, pear and pineapple-scented and flavored Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc. The lovely 2007 (a blend of 70% Grenache Blanc, 25% Clairette, and 5% Bourboulenc) is best consumed over the next 1-2 years.
What a superlative performance from proprietors Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio. This is one of the few estates where the 2006s are so great that they eclipse their brilliant 2005s, and come very close to what was accomplished in 2007. 2007 is another stunning success from brothers Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio.
